1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,300 Say yellow to yellow with the YOLO S7 camera. 2 00:00:04,300 --> 00:00:08,220 It is a very unique webcam in the sense 3 00:00:08,220 --> 00:00:13,860 that it is a webcam designed for streaming and content creation that has a removable lens. 4 00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:18,340 That's so exciting. What do we get in the box? We get that sleeve so you can bring that camera around. 5 00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:22,740 We get quite a beefy type A to type C, 6 00:00:22,740 --> 00:00:26,980 which is our data cable. And it's quite long. That looks to be about 10 feet. 7 00:00:26,980 --> 00:00:30,860 That's pretty nice. As far as 10 feet from your computer, 8 00:00:30,860 --> 00:00:34,420 that's incredible. Okay, that's a little facetious. It is meant to be a webcam, 9 00:00:34,420 --> 00:00:39,420 so 10 feet is actually plenty long. In this box, we have a C to C power cable. 10 00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:43,300 Looks to be about the same big finesse and length, maybe a little bit shorter. 11 00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:47,180 But both of these connectors actually have a little screwing bit so that it locks 12 00:00:47,180 --> 00:00:50,540 that even when you move the camera, you're not in super large danger 13 00:00:50,540 --> 00:00:54,300 of just yonking out a cable in the middle of the live stream, which would be catastrophic. 14 00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:57,940 We have our quick start guide and our product manual, and that's it. 15 00:00:57,940 --> 00:01:04,220 YOLO also sent us a power adapter, although you could presumably use a different USB PD-1. 16 00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:05,180 What am I looking at? 17 00:01:09,180 --> 00:01:14,300 That's a really long brick. If it's on a surge protector that's on the ground, 18 00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:17,500 not a big deal, but if you're plugging it into a wall, that is a lot of weight 19 00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:22,940 on something that has very little resistance. This little doohickey's good for up to 45 watts at 20 volts, 20 00:01:22,940 --> 00:01:26,820 but that wouldn't be necessary. The camera itself uses 12 watts of power, 21 00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:30,300 and so this should be plenty, but you also have a lot of versatility 22 00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:35,280 in the kind of power bricks you could be using. Inside this one, we have, oh nice, 23 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,900 a little L bracket with quarter 20 slots, 24 00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:44,180 as well as a slot that we could put another quarter 20 to mount our camera in its vertical orientation. 25 00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:48,260 This is predominantly for short form content creation, 26 00:01:48,260 --> 00:01:51,580 presumably, although that makes less sense to me 27 00:01:51,580 --> 00:01:54,620 than it being a streaming camera. I have a lot of questions about this thing 28 00:01:54,620 --> 00:02:00,020 that I hope I will be able to answer. Last thing inside this box is our quarter 20 tripod 29 00:02:00,020 --> 00:02:05,580 little screw. The L bracket itself is actually a pretty good quality. This is pretty on par with something I would expect 30 00:02:05,580 --> 00:02:09,560 from a small rig or something, and the fact that you have the three mounting holes 31 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,220 on the back is actually a pretty nice quality of life thing. Thankfully, we've got some pretty good versatility. 32 00:02:14,220 --> 00:02:17,260 We have a microphone jack, we have an HDMI out, 33 00:02:17,260 --> 00:02:21,500 and then we have two type C's, one is for power, and one is for data, and that's because 34 00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:24,700 you can actually stream using the HDMI out 35 00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:28,180 and the type C. The type C will be limited to 1080p, 36 00:02:28,180 --> 00:02:33,460 but if you're Twitch streaming, that's more than enough, especially when you go non-fullscreen, 37 00:02:33,460 --> 00:02:37,140 so I don't think that's a huge, huge factor, and if I was using this at home, I actually probably would do that 38 00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:41,580 to avoid having another HDMI box or card 39 00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:45,140 in order to read that. On the top, we have our cold shoe mount 40 00:02:45,140 --> 00:02:49,460 so that you could put accessories, presumably, you could put your mic that you'd plug into the back. 41 00:02:49,460 --> 00:02:54,340 Side's very plain, bottom quarter 20. On the front, we have our sensors and laser 42 00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:58,940 for the time of flight autofocus, which is a pretty cool feature for a camera like this. 43 00:02:58,940 --> 00:03:05,420 It uses basically a laser, and the time it takes for that laser to come back to the camera in order to measure the depth, 44 00:03:05,420 --> 00:03:11,540 which would allow for really fast autofocus. YOLO claims 0.08 seconds of autofocus, 45 00:03:11,540 --> 00:03:15,100 although my guess is that measurement isn't including the whole process of it, 46 00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:20,380 and it also will depend on the lens, yes, because when you're using a camera with good autofocus, 47 00:03:20,380 --> 00:03:23,700 having the right lenses on that camera can make a huge difference. 48 00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:28,460 In fact, YOLO recommends just two lenses, the 25 and 15 mil lenses, 49 00:03:28,460 --> 00:03:32,540 which would give you a lot of the room without having too much fisheyeing on the lenses, 50 00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:36,460 especially as it is a micro for a third camera, so there's a crop factor, 51 00:03:36,460 --> 00:03:40,540 so the 25 is about a 50 millimeter, which is good for portraits, 52 00:03:40,540 --> 00:03:44,260 and that'll be great for a face cam, but actually would kind of get a little tight 53 00:03:44,260 --> 00:03:48,860 when you really think about it. I'm thinking about it. Just like I'm thinking about how time of flight autofocus 54 00:03:48,860 --> 00:03:54,420 has the advantage of being really fast and really accurate, but it also has a limit in the distance it can measure. 55 00:03:54,420 --> 00:03:58,180 That's not a big deal for a camera like this, that's not really designed to get big wide shots 56 00:03:58,180 --> 00:04:02,220 or moving subjects that are really, really far away, and so I think that's a pretty reasonable compromise 57 00:04:02,220 --> 00:04:07,460 and a smart design choice for its use case, which is have a damn good looking webcam, baby, 58 00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:11,980 and sensor size is a huge factor when it comes to having good image. 59 00:04:11,980 --> 00:04:15,540 Not only does it mean that each pixel will be larger, 60 00:04:15,580 --> 00:04:21,700 which allows for more light and better low light performance, it also gives you access to a whole suite of lenses 61 00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:27,340 that are designed to have a more cinematic look with depth of field, as well as just like versatility and how you can use it, 62 00:04:27,340 --> 00:04:31,700 and so I actually think this is a really, really cool use case for people that are predominantly tied to a computer 63 00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:34,700 and streaming all the time. One thing you'll notice that I haven't talked about 64 00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:39,700 is a screen, as opposed to most more versatile cameras. 65 00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:43,580 This doesn't have a screen because it's expecting you to be tied to a computer, 66 00:04:43,580 --> 00:04:47,860 which is predominantly a con, IMO. 67 00:04:47,860 --> 00:04:52,340 That seems like a really impractical way of doing it. Like why not have this be self-sustaining? 68 00:04:52,340 --> 00:04:55,420 Although the trade-off could be the money they save 69 00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:59,980 on that computing internally, could be put towards making a better image quality 70 00:04:59,980 --> 00:05:03,700 for the price, but that remains to be seen. Just like it remains to be seen 71 00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:09,220 if this thing actually can stream forever, like YOLO claims, they say because of the design 72 00:05:09,220 --> 00:05:14,340 and all aluminum body, it'll dissipate heat fast enough that you could presumably stream indefinitely, 73 00:05:14,340 --> 00:05:18,580 which is fantastic. I haven't had too much issue streaming from mirrorless 74 00:05:18,580 --> 00:05:23,380 or DSLR in terms of overheating, but I have had overheating issues, 75 00:05:23,380 --> 00:05:26,420 mostly when I'm doing internal recording on Sony cameras 76 00:05:26,420 --> 00:05:29,660 a few generations ago, and it's very, very frustrating 77 00:05:29,660 --> 00:05:32,740 when you're in the middle of an interview and you're like, can you wait 20 minutes 78 00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:37,020 while I just wait here for my equipment to cool off? 79 00:05:37,020 --> 00:05:40,780 Thankfully, that won't be a problem with this. You just press the button, take the lens cap off, 80 00:05:40,820 --> 00:05:45,340 look at that giant frickin' sensor. Okay, it's not giant compared to like full frame cameras, 81 00:05:45,340 --> 00:05:50,460 but compared to webcams, bro, this thing's like four times bigger, it's crazy. 82 00:05:50,460 --> 00:05:54,660 This sensor is a Sony IMX sensor. There's not a ton of technical details. 83 00:05:54,660 --> 00:06:00,260 What we do know is that it's good for 4K 60 across the whole sensor and it has dual native ISO, 84 00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:06,500 although we don't know specifically which ISOs they're talking about, but can range from 100 ISO to 9,600 ISO. 85 00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:10,780 So that's a pretty dang good range, although I'm curious to see how grainy it gets at 9,600. 86 00:06:10,780 --> 00:06:16,420 You know what I'm saying, dog? Ah! We've got our YOLO S7 set up on a C stand. 87 00:06:16,420 --> 00:06:21,380 That's probably not what you're gonna wanna do. You're gonna wanna get some kind of mount for your behind your monitor or to an ARM. 88 00:06:21,380 --> 00:06:26,420 Thankfully, the quarter 20 means that it's gonna be fairly easy. The other thing to note is that as a safety feature, 89 00:06:26,420 --> 00:06:30,700 the sensor's not supposed to activate without a lens, and that's a good thing because if you have your lens off 90 00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:34,500 and the sensor on, the electrostatic can actually draw dust to it and damage the sensor, 91 00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:37,740 so that's a nice little nifty little safety feature. You know what I'm saying? 92 00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:44,420 I just have to say, this looks pretty good. It has the benefit of that proper, not quite cine lens, 93 00:06:44,420 --> 00:06:48,980 so you get the cool depth of field effect like you can see Glenn in the back is out of focus. 94 00:06:49,980 --> 00:06:53,100 It's doing a pretty good job tracking me. 95 00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:58,860 This isn't the recommended lens, but in terms of if I was streaming, that's really not bad. 96 00:06:58,860 --> 00:07:03,700 So let's see what we got for controls. And I will say that even though the camera 97 00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:06,940 is really shaking on the tripod, you can see in this camera, 98 00:07:06,940 --> 00:07:10,580 the actual video feed is not too bad. Like it's obviously a little bit jittery, 99 00:07:10,580 --> 00:07:13,780 but that's not that bad. There's got to be some kind of stabilization 100 00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:17,860 or maybe I'm just losing my mind. In our camera adjustment panels, we've got our video settings. 101 00:07:17,860 --> 00:07:23,860 We can go from landscape to portrait. If I was using this at home, I would be using it in landscape. 102 00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:28,540 Gosh, wow. I can say if I'm only comparing to webcams, 103 00:07:28,540 --> 00:07:33,780 this is the best looking webcam I've ever seen. If we're comparing to cameras that are the same price as it, 104 00:07:33,780 --> 00:07:37,380 that remains to be seen. And then we have our HDMI resolution. 105 00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:42,020 We're actually limited to 1080p through the USB-C. That's plenty for our purposes today, 106 00:07:42,020 --> 00:07:47,260 but it's nice to know that you could do 4K through the camera, especially if you're making YouTube videos. 107 00:07:47,260 --> 00:07:50,300 For streaming, I don't think that 4K is as important. 108 00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:56,780 Next, we have our imaging settings. That's a really subtle change in our white balance. 109 00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:01,900 I prefer the cool colors, although I think they got their naming schemes backward 110 00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:05,260 because this cool colors one's actually tending warmer 111 00:08:05,260 --> 00:08:09,020 to adjust for colder lights. So I think I look better with that. 112 00:08:09,020 --> 00:08:12,860 You can adjust your sharpness to really cook those pores 113 00:08:14,260 --> 00:08:17,780 or really soft, which almost looks a little bit out of focus, 114 00:08:17,780 --> 00:08:21,460 but not too bad. We have contrast. We can cook it or uncook it. 115 00:08:21,460 --> 00:08:24,980 We can adjust our saturation. I can say something sad. 116 00:08:24,980 --> 00:08:29,220 People ask how you're doing. You have to say you're fine, but you're not really fine. 117 00:08:29,220 --> 00:08:32,620 Deep down inside to hurt. Wow, that felt really real. 118 00:08:32,620 --> 00:08:36,340 We have our distortion correction, which we'll adjust for fisheye, although we don't need that 119 00:08:36,340 --> 00:08:40,940 because we're using a 25 millimeter lens. So you can see I'm actually fairly far away. 120 00:08:40,940 --> 00:08:45,660 Like it's now me, like a centimeter away from touching. This works if you can get the camera behind the monitor. 121 00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:49,540 It's a little bit close for what I'd be doing in our purposes today. Then we got vignetting correction, 122 00:08:49,540 --> 00:08:53,060 which is not as much of a problem I found on micro for thirds. 123 00:08:53,060 --> 00:08:56,980 It's usually when you're using zoom lenses on bigger sensors, 124 00:08:56,980 --> 00:09:02,740 but it's possible that there's lenses that would vignette. So it'll just basically adjust the edges of the frame 125 00:09:02,740 --> 00:09:06,460 to not get darker. Next up, we have our focus. 126 00:09:06,460 --> 00:09:10,420 So first we can adjust our channel, which should reduce the signal interference 127 00:09:10,420 --> 00:09:13,940 between cameras. I don't do a ton of multicam auto focus stuff. 128 00:09:13,940 --> 00:09:17,620 So I've never experienced that before, but you can change it so there won't be any interference. 129 00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:21,660 Then you have your continuous auto focus, your single auto focus or your face. 130 00:09:21,660 --> 00:09:26,980 So face seems to have some kind of just like face tracking. I imagine for most people, they'll want that. 131 00:09:26,980 --> 00:09:32,380 And we can change the focus speed because although technically you want the fastest tracking, 132 00:09:32,420 --> 00:09:36,260 sometimes it looks unnatural to have like a robot auto focus when it's too fast. 133 00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:40,180 And there's something like a cinematic quality that people actually enjoy more 134 00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:46,040 when there's a little bit of a slow rack. And so I'm actually gonna go standard on my focus speed. 135 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,900 Next, we got our zoom. I wonder what that does. 136 00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:54,580 No. We have our hot keys so we can set different levels of zoom to different keys. 137 00:09:54,580 --> 00:09:59,300 But seeing as that we're already at the maximum zoom I'd want to be, we are not gonna need that. 138 00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:02,720 Next, we have our AI parameter. 139 00:10:06,180 --> 00:10:10,940 Why are they calling this an AI feature? This is just controlling a basic feature of the camera. 140 00:10:10,940 --> 00:10:15,780 That's stupid. Don't call it a AI man. It's just controlling your aperture. 141 00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:19,500 We can set the amount of AI blurring they do 142 00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:23,040 as well as like the aperture settings in that menu. 143 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,380 So it wants me to say still, select your preferred image brightness. 144 00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:27,980 This one's a little bit different. 145 00:10:29,740 --> 00:10:33,780 Why did it do this weird color thing? This looks terrible. 146 00:10:33,780 --> 00:10:37,780 It looks so much worse than it did before. Your AI gets a big thumbs down 147 00:10:37,780 --> 00:10:42,180 on top of the regular AI thumbs down for me. We are going to reset. 148 00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:48,060 So much better. Also, I want to have manual control over all my stuff. 149 00:10:48,060 --> 00:10:51,060 You might want to go to the auto and it actually seems like it's done a pretty good job 150 00:10:51,060 --> 00:10:56,140 getting my skin tones about where I would want them. But I much prefer having my controls all manual. 151 00:10:56,140 --> 00:10:59,540 They have two different settings here that do the same thing, but with a different name. 152 00:10:59,540 --> 00:11:02,700 So if you don't know, the wider you have your aperture in a lens, 153 00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:06,100 the more blurred things are gonna look when they're out of focus. 154 00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:10,580 If you have a small little aperture, there's more depth of your scene that will be in focus. 155 00:11:10,580 --> 00:11:14,860 If you close your aperture by going to the higher numbers, you will not only get a darker image 156 00:11:14,860 --> 00:11:19,140 because less light is going through the smaller hole, but more of your scene will be in focus. 157 00:11:19,140 --> 00:11:25,300 Seeing as we're having a good time at f 1.8, that's great. Or you can use their dropdown for blur low, medium high, 158 00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:28,900 which basically closes your aperture and makes things dark. 159 00:11:28,900 --> 00:11:33,100 I feel like that's fine, but that should be in the auto side of the settings, 160 00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:36,420 not the manual side. So we're just gonna leave that there. 161 00:11:36,420 --> 00:11:40,420 Next we have our ISO settings. I imagine that it's 400, 800. 162 00:11:40,420 --> 00:11:43,860 So we'll go to 400. Either of them looks pretty good, 163 00:11:43,860 --> 00:11:48,340 like not particularly grainy. The image quality, it looks like I've got a pretty good dynamic range. 164 00:11:48,340 --> 00:11:53,060 I think 400 is plenty. Next we have our shutter speed. And I actually think that they're not right 165 00:11:53,060 --> 00:11:56,260 about this shutter speed because this is 60 FPS. 166 00:11:56,260 --> 00:12:01,860 And generally when you're doing camera stuff, you have your shutter speed at one over twice your frame rate 167 00:12:01,860 --> 00:12:05,820 so that the shutter is open half of the frames. That's the most cinematic look, 168 00:12:05,820 --> 00:12:11,220 but it wouldn't look quite right if you're shooting one sixtieth with a 60 FPS frame rate. 169 00:12:11,220 --> 00:12:14,780 It would look a little bit soft. And I don't think that's quite right. So I actually think they're lying to me, 170 00:12:14,780 --> 00:12:18,100 but this does sort of have that 30 FPS look, 171 00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:21,780 even though it's presumably actually at 60 FPS. So that's fine. 172 00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:26,940 And if I'm doing Twitch streaming, I'm gonna be at 60 FPS anyway. Next we have our white balance, which is great. 173 00:12:26,940 --> 00:12:31,700 The auto stuff did a pretty darn good job. We got our Greenland look. 174 00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:35,220 And we have our Mexico look. And then we have a blue and red offset 175 00:12:35,220 --> 00:12:38,700 where we can pick a specific color. I actually thought the auto white balance did a pretty good job. 176 00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:43,100 So I'm just gonna leave it at that on auto. Although if I was setting up for a long-term stream, 177 00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:47,780 I probably would find the right setting so that I don't have to worry about midstream kind of shifting 178 00:12:47,780 --> 00:12:52,500 if I have weird color things that happen. We actually have access to more color correcting. 179 00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:55,780 So you can take a capture image and then color correct that and kind of set that as a preset. 180 00:12:55,780 --> 00:12:59,620 We don't need to do that. This looks good as it is. And then a live scene button, 181 00:12:59,620 --> 00:13:03,660 they put everything back on auto, which actually is a good thing for me to point out. 182 00:13:03,660 --> 00:13:07,500 In the exposure setting on auto, you can actually have an anti-flicker setting. 183 00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:11,940 So for 50 or 60 hertz, depending where you are in the world. And then you can kind of have a lot of the same settings. 184 00:13:11,940 --> 00:13:15,540 So you can set your aperture here, but then you can also set sort of your amount 185 00:13:15,540 --> 00:13:20,140 of expected light to compensate for. Again, I'm gonna just go back to manual. 186 00:13:20,140 --> 00:13:24,660 That looks really good. And like not only does it not have a face light 187 00:13:24,660 --> 00:13:28,980 to help light my face, it's actually working against all this purple bounce. 188 00:13:28,980 --> 00:13:32,220 And I have to say it's doing a pretty admirable job 189 00:13:32,220 --> 00:13:37,260 at making my skin not look totally wacky. Like when I'm looking at it, it looks a little bit off, 190 00:13:37,260 --> 00:13:42,620 but if I was streaming with this, I don't think anyone would comment. It would look totally acceptable, super sharp. 191 00:13:42,620 --> 00:13:46,300 The autofocus is pretty good. It really wants to do my hand. 192 00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:52,220 You can kind of see it in jumps. You can see when I do this, it goes like, da, da, da, da, da, da. 193 00:13:52,220 --> 00:13:55,620 But I gotta say that autofocus is working pretty good at tracking me. 194 00:13:55,620 --> 00:13:59,660 It takes a little bit to make sure that it's got me, but usually when you're streaming, 195 00:13:59,660 --> 00:14:03,220 you're not running around your room too much. And if you are, I would just crank the brightness 196 00:14:03,220 --> 00:14:07,100 in your room and then close your aperture a little bit. And you're probably gonna be covered anyway. 197 00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:10,140 I'm not gonna record the camera free directly into OBS 198 00:14:10,140 --> 00:14:14,380 so that we can get a better idea of what it'll look like in your recording software. 199 00:14:14,380 --> 00:14:17,380 There is a little bit more jitteriness on my monitor. 200 00:14:17,420 --> 00:14:21,900 I had to close the app in order to get the feed because like most video devices 201 00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:25,580 can only be outputting to one of them at a time. Just a really annoying distinction. 202 00:14:25,580 --> 00:14:30,680 I don't know if that's a Windows or OBS thing, but figure it out. But you can imagine if I'm just a tiny little person 203 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,540 in the window, that's about as nice 204 00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:38,620 as I've seen for a streaming camera. And people use much more expensive cameras 205 00:14:38,620 --> 00:14:41,740 than this for streaming. But here's the flip side. 206 00:14:41,740 --> 00:14:45,100 This thing is only a webcam. And that could be great. 207 00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:48,220 You might be someone that's like, I just want the best video quality. 208 00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:52,660 When I'm streaming on my computer, I don't want to worry about it. I'm never taking my camera away. 209 00:14:52,660 --> 00:14:56,980 But at the price of $800, which is its sale price, 210 00:14:56,980 --> 00:15:00,220 but it's one of those sales that goes on forever. So that's really just the real price. 211 00:15:00,220 --> 00:15:04,560 They just want to pretend like you're saving $100. You can get a pretty damn good camera. 212 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:10,060 The Sony has a ZVE-10. The Mark I, if you buy it, you can get like $400, $500. 213 00:15:10,060 --> 00:15:13,980 $800 new. The Mark II is even better for video, but it's a little bit more. 214 00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:20,700 If you don't like Sony, Canon has the R50, Nikon has the Z30 that are kind of similar price brackets 215 00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:27,700 and I think are much more versatile. However, I don't think that their video out 216 00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:32,920 is substantially nicer than this. And so if you are going to just use that as a webcam, 217 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,180 this isn't a bad alternative. And it is really good. It was really easy. 218 00:15:36,180 --> 00:15:39,980 If you're someone that knows nothing about cameras, the auto settings did a pretty good job. 219 00:15:39,980 --> 00:15:46,340 Not the AI settings, those suck. But $800 without a lens is a lot of money for a webcam. 220 00:15:46,340 --> 00:15:51,860 And if you're starting out in content creation, here's a little bit of a tip. 221 00:15:51,860 --> 00:15:55,740 Video quality matters up to a certain point. And when you kind of get past that point, 222 00:15:55,740 --> 00:16:01,900 there's a huge drop off of diminishing returns for way less than half the price of this thing, 223 00:16:01,900 --> 00:16:06,840 especially if you're adding a lens. You can get a pretty damn good webcam that captures you. 224 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,220 And that's what matters when you're streaming is you, 225 00:16:10,220 --> 00:16:13,640 not the camera, not the gear. Are you fun? Are you engaging? 226 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:19,300 Are you confident? Are you exciting? That's so much more important. So if I were you, instead of spending $800 on this, 227 00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:22,720 if you're getting started out, I'd buy something pretty good at $200, 228 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,020 and then treat yourself to a massage for $600. 229 00:16:26,020 --> 00:16:29,780 And just enjoy yourself, come back to your stream, super recharge, super energized, 230 00:16:29,780 --> 00:16:32,820 and that's a way better stream, IMO. 231 00:16:32,820 --> 00:16:37,820 Just like this outro is better than the one I did yesterday, 232 00:16:37,820 --> 00:16:42,740 because I didn't do one yesterday. This is the first ShortCircuit I've done this week. And if you're still interested in a camera 233 00:16:42,740 --> 00:16:46,660 in this price range for streaming, we actually unboxed the ZV-10 234 00:16:46,660 --> 00:16:50,980 when that came out a couple of years ago. And so you should watch that one. I have a lot of thoughts back then, 235 00:16:50,980 --> 00:16:53,580 and I don't think they've changed that much since then.
